Martin Kelly Proposed.

To the Editor OF the Appeal
As the question has been opened as to
a suitable person 10 fill the place In the
board Of police and fire commissioners no
suddenly and sadly made vacant by the
death Of Col H. A. Montgomery, we trust
that IL will not be out Of place 10 mention
n few fncts in connection with this very
important matter, and name a man that IL
not only cmincntly qualified, but who will
be satisfactory 10 a large majority Of the
people OF Memphis. When this govern
ment was organized Maj. NJ. Burke was
placed on the board mainly because he
wnsa railroad man. This being very large
and important interest in the city, Il was be-
lievcd that practical, experienced person
was essential 10 look after and deal with
that particular interest. On his retirement
Col. Montgomery WIS chosen 10 al his
place for the reason that his long
years Of experience in contracting
with railroads and his general knowi.
edge of business of various kinds
fitted him peculiarly for the place. Both
Of these gentlemen have taken care OF the
trust coniided 10 them satisfactorily 10 the
public, and with great credit 30 themselves.
The city has prospercd, and railroad inter
csts have increased amazingly. Now what
We need is Ms near a duplicate Of one or
the other OF these gentlemen in experience,
ability and general fitness for the place.
That man is Martin Kelly, II he will accept
IT, Ills recognized honesty, intimate ac.
quaintance with railroad building and
contracting OF every kind, his long resi-
dcnce In the city, his thorough knowledge
of lis needs, all combine TO make him most
valuable as member Of the board Of fire
and police commissioners. CITIZEN.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-10-23

the civil service law, for the enforcement
of which he owes Cleveland grudge, he
Is content with the city pap, and to hold to
that and perpctuatc the nefarious and sys-
tematic methods OF robbery, which now
and then are uncovered, he would sacrifice
the presidency, and the welfare OF n
great nation. In this way the af-
fairs of 100000 Of people are
leveled to the grade OF gang many
of whose companions are in the Sing Sing
pcnitentiary and many more are exiles in
Canada as runaway "boodlers." How
long will the south bear with this and
yield 10 the cry Of "New York, New
York" which makes towards Of all
Democrats and forces them TO pander TO
an element the most corrupt in America?
How long is the destiny OF the Democratic
party TO hinge upon the worse
than temporaing policies Of such
men as the New York Herald,
the Star, the Sun and the Post
dcnounce, giving facts to sustain theirposi-
tons. With the experience Of past cleo
tons in view, why should the Democracy
Of the whole country yield the destinics OF
the Union TO men who are already schcm-
ing TO make the nomination Of Cleveland
impossible Cleveland, who is unquestion-
ably the peoples choice, and who has
fairly won his title TO their confidence and
proven himself worthy Of their suiIrages.
Thus forcwarncd the leaders in other Dem
ocratic States should be forearmcd,
and make II their imperative duty To
try and turn the tables In hitherto Repub.
lican States and make the party independ'
cnt Of New York. Slavery 10 the leaders
Of that State has become intolerabe and
uncomfortable. Better n thousand time;
defeat with honor than success achieved
by conniving and conscnting to leader
slip that Is ayowcdly one Of cxpediency
for seli-intercst and 10 the complete ignor
ing Of the necessities and political compli
cations Of great and a growing nation.

FORAKER, it is thought, will find himself
in mad-house before the Ohio canvass is
over. He has gone demcnted over the
rebel battle flags and Cleveland, and de-
clares that he has mission to
keep the south in the Union
and he Is going to do it. lie also harps
upon the slight put upon him by Mrs.
Cleveland, whose husband he grossly and
wantonly insul.ed. His madness, he
promises, is to eliminate in a book about
the rebel battlc-Hogs.
